RIO LINDA prefixes in area code 279

NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center RIO LINDA in area code 279, 2.6% of the 151 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRACTEL, LLC (2), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (1), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - CA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2020-09-17 and the most recent 2024-11-12. 4 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots. The same rate center name also appears in area code 916 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
